As a result, until the army stopped advancing and stationed there, Zhong Yu failed to give Yang Zhen a clear answer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this regard, Yang Zhen was not in a hurry, because he knew that it was difficult for even Zhong Yu to make a choice between these two choices in a short period of time, because as a court official, he had too many aspects to consider, and he could not make a decision based on a momentary mood. Moreover, even if he really expressed his attitude, Yang Zhen may not believe it, only by listening to his words and watching his deeds can he truly understand his mind.

But Yang Zhen already had a plan in his heart, and he didn't look forward to it as he said to Zhong Yushi. Whether it is out of some feelings for the little emperor, or because he has gradually integrated into the society of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Zhen hopes that the world can be as peaceful as possible and the people's lives can be better, so he went to Datong to investigate the rebellion in detail, even if it will offend many people.

Maybe it's because he feels that talking to Yang Zhen is quite tasteful, in the next day or two, Zhong Yu always invites Yang Zhen to the car to talk for a while, or talk about the affairs of the court, or listen to Yang Zhen talk about things in the rivers and lakes, which makes the journey of the two of them interesting.

However, all this fell in the eyes of Song Xueqiao, who was in the other car, and it was not so interesting. Seeing Yang Zhen and Zhong Yu getting closer and closer, he naturally had to guess what the two were talking about secretly, and even worried that they had reached a consensus to do something they didn't want to see after arriving in Datong. But he has a special identity, and he is not qualified to ask about the two Qincha, and this suspicion can only be held in his heart.

In this way, Song Xueqiao's mood became even more nervous. The only thing that could reassure him now was that the killing game he had set up before had been completed, just waiting for the prey to enter the trap and then closing the net. He believed that as long as Yang Zhen was removed, all problems could be solved, and in his slightly excited imagination, the team finally came to the boundary of Xin County.

When this Qincha team entered the territory of Xin County, it was just after noon. According to Zhong Yu's thoughts, he would not stay here. After all, they had a lot of responsibilities on them, and they were in a hurry to get to Datong, and almost all of the teams on this road were in the wilderness, and they had not been entertained by the local state government yamen -- a team of several thousand people was not something that ordinary local yamen could afford to entertain.

But this time the situation made Zhong Yu a little difficult, because just when they were about to cross the border and pass by, several local officials brought a lot of attachés to greet them, and the county commander Yang Xian strongly invited them to stay in the county seat for one night, and it would not be too late to leave tomorrow morning: "Lord Qincha and all the military masters are here for the stability of my Shanxi." As a landlord in Shanxi, we should do our best to express our gratitude to the landlord. I also hope that Lord Qincha can appreciate the face of the official. ”

"This ......" looked at the other party's sincere appearance, Zhong Yu was really hard to refuse for a while, it was inevitable to socialize in the officialdom, and the other party was out of kindness, and he was afraid that he would offend people if he refused, leaving an evaluation that outsiders didn't know what to do. However, after looking back at the vast team of thousands of people behind him, he changed his mind a little, this Xin County is not rich in Shanxi, and if he wants to entertain so many people, he is afraid that even his family will be hollowed out, and he can't bear to pay more taxes because of this.

Yang Xian is obviously a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Zhong Yu's appearance, he guessed that he had the intention of refusing, so he continued to persuade after a flash of his eyes: "It is difficult for us in Xin County to encounter angels for many years, and I hope that my lord can fulfill this wish of the people under the rule of the lower officials." Moreover, the sky is going to get dark soon, and the army is about to rest, so why not rest in our county? ”

Yang Zhen was standing behind Zhong Yu at this time, and he didn't feel a little strange when he saw him so enthusiastic. If any important member of the imperial court passes here, he will be warmly entertained by Yang Zhixian. But Zhong Yushi is a case-handling officer, and it doesn't seem to have any impact on the future of Yang County's order, so why is he trying to stammer so hard? And then, he glanced at the expressions of the people who were following Yang Xian, and found that there was a trace of fear in the depths of their eyes, which made him even more strange, what were these people afraid of? Are you afraid that Zhong Yu will agree to stay, or are you afraid that he will not stay?

Just when Zhong Yu was having a hard time making a choice, Song Xueqiao, who was only staying in his car along the way, and looked quite low-key, suddenly spoke: "Lord Qincha, the lower officials see that this Yang County Order is completely kind, you still agree to him, otherwise it will only chill the hearts of local officials." As for what you are worried about, it will cause inconvenience to the local area if so many people are stationed in the county seat together, in fact, it is easy to solve it, leave the army outside the city, and ask the county government to get some wine and meat to treat the sergeants? It's really hard for everyone to eat and sleep in the open along the way, and it looks like it's about to arrive in Datong, so let's treat the sergeants first. ”

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what this lord said. It is very understandable that Lord Qincha doesn't want to disturb the mood of the place, but I hope that the lower officials can have mercy on this piece of heart! Yang Xian hurriedly nodded and said like a chicken pecking rice.

Seeing that the other party said things like this, his figure was so low, and even words such as pity came out, Zhong Yu knew that he would offend people if he resigned, so he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You guys...... Okay, then the official will be bothering your county for one night. But this army, Yang Qianhu...... Why don't you work harder? ”

Yang Zhen was muttering in his heart-the expressions of those guys who looked full of worry and fear just now have obviously relaxed a lot at this moment, why is this? - So he didn't react quickly to Zhong Yu's greeting, and it wasn't until he called for the second time that he came back to his senses and responded: "The lower officer understands, so the lower officer will stay in the army......

Before he could finish speaking, Song Xueqiao hurriedly said, "How can this be done?" Lord Yang is the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, how can he not live in the county seat? We are officers and soldiers, and we are not rogues without military discipline, and there are a few thousands of adults who are still afraid that something will happen? ”

Zhong Yu was right to think about it, he couldn't be comfortable in the county by himself, and asked Yang Zhen to be with the big-headed soldiers, right? So he nodded and said: "That's right, then Yang Qianhu will live in the city with me." Everything in the army is laborious! As he spoke, he also hugged the thousands of presidents.

To be able to get such a courtesy from the dignified Lord Qincha, the bones of those thousand generals were a few taels lighter, and they quickly returned the salute, and patted their chests to promise that they would definitely restrain their subordinates and not bring any trouble to the local government.

In this way, Zhong Yu finally put his mind at ease, and went to the pavilion used to entertain them under the guidance of Yang Xian. Seeing that things were finally going exactly according to his plan, Song Xueqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a trace of smugness and a cold smile appeared in his eyes. He believed that after tonight, Yang Zhen would disappear from this world.

However, he didn't notice it, and at this time, a sneer also hung on the corner of Yang Zhen's mouth. If he was still a little confused before, Song Xueqiao's actions of jumping out and speaking several times had made him know the truth of the matter very clearly - I am afraid that this is the killing game arranged by Song Xueqiao, who he has been guarding against. But this guy is really big, and he has come forward several times to promote the stay here, isn't he afraid of revealing flaws?

He didn't know that this was a choice made by Song Xueqiao in desperation. If it weren't for the tragic death of his right-hand subordinate Zhou, no one under him could coordinate the overall situation, and he would not have personally come forward to facilitate this matter.

Although the Yang County Commander said that the sky was going to get dark in order to keep the guests, in fact, it was only a short time after they checked into the pavilion, and it was really a while before it got dark. Therefore, even if the county government has made arrangements and will set up a banquet to entertain a few lords, it is not the right time, and everyone will rest in the side rooms arranged for them by the yamen.

This Xin County is not a big county after all, and this pavilion is naturally not very luxurious, and it even looks a little dilapidated. And because of financial difficulties, there are only two spacious cross-courtyards, and today these two places are naturally divided by Zhong Yu and Yang Zhen, as for Song Xueqiao, he can only rest in a room with the best view. But looking at his expression, he was obviously very satisfied with the result.

Although this inn is indeed a little simpler, it is much better than the days when you could only stay in a tent for the night and eat and sleep along the way. As Yang Zhen entered the courtyard together, Cai Yingyang, who saw the mat on the bed, sighed with satisfaction, and then rushed into the room regardless of it, and lay down on the bed.

Yang Zhen didn't laugh when he saw him like this, but he didn't blame him. He knew very well that Cai Yingyang had been a little hard these days, because he had just taken a boat from Zhejiang to Beijing before, and then rode with him from Beijing all the way west to Shanxi without waiting for a break.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen didn't mean to discuss things with him, but turned around and called Xiang Ying, who had been following him in the role of a personal guard. When Xiang Ying came, Yang Zhen split his head and said: "Tonight should be the time to see, you have to be prepared, you can't let someone take the lead." ”

Xiang Ying listened to his words and was stunned for a moment. Immediately, the whole person became excited, and his eyes revealed a strong killing intent: "Really? This is where Song Xueqiao wants to start? ”

"The Eight Achievements are here. There are some problems with the county order to keep us, and when I came, I found that there were no people walking around this pavilion, and they should have been deliberately driven away, in order to facilitate their actions. Yang Zhen said.

"Well, I've been waiting too long for this moment!" Xiang Ying said, his hands suddenly clenched into the most familiar eagle claws, like a vulture that has been eyeing its prey, with sharp eyes!
